A few weeks back, I bit into a pear off of my pear tree that was not yet ripe and it felt like someone punched me in the jaw below my ear. Usually, the reaction is like I bit into the sourest of lemons, even though whatever I am eating tastes like it normally does. Chocolate is one of the worst things that triggers the reaction. That reaction, thankfully, is also not bad now, but it will also last longer as my treatments go on, and on, and on...
As I have mentioned before, I lost count of how many treatments I have had, but if I have not reached 50 of them yet, it's close. They ought to give me a 100 dollar gift card to Best Buy or something, right?
